When comparing the working drive and non-working drive, I noticed in the Xorg.0.log on the non-working drive:Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=linux-mame ro root=801 2

I don't have "auto" listed in the log on the working drive. What does the parameter "auto" do? This parameter is not listed in LILO or /proc/cmdline . I can't find any specific information about it. I tried auto=false for grins but no changes for my situation in the thread.

Just trying to get more information about this auto parameter and how I might be able to disable it (at least for testing).
